Well SSDs don't. Which is why they're obscenely faster than mechanical drives and are pretty much indestructible.

I can't imagine using a computer without an SSD after making the switch. Even if it's a relatively slow 40gb SSD, the difference will be night and day. Mine's 256gb

With an SSD you can shut your computer in under 2 secs, turn it on around 20-30 and once the desktop loads you can instantly open apps and not have to wait a minute like hard drives. Although on Macs with little ram SSD doesn't really feel as fast as I had hoped. Macs are ram hogs.

i mean they seem to be better in general but when you have all the options you can upgrade and all with other computers it doesn't seem worth it to spend so much money up front

Especially when they abandon your hardware in:
3 years for macs as soon as it was released for mac pros and every year for iOS devices.

I know a lot of people would appreciate it. One of the biggest barriers to the PC gaming master race is that people think it's too expensive, but you can get a solid gaming desktop for $400. And with stuff like Steam, you'll eventually save that extra $150 you spent on the desktop instead of getting the PS3 by discounts on games you'd get anyway.

No joke. Oh, and people buy PCs anyway to access the internet, so that's a big point as well.

I always hear this, but I've never seen evidence. I need something to run animation programs every day.
